At a hearing on Thursday morning, he was again given bail. Marek was released on the breach charge on a $500 bail with conditions.

A spokesperson with Alberta Justice explained Marek didn’t have to pay the $500 bail Thursday. However, if he breaches the conditions again, he may have to pay the $500 and may not get all or a portion of the $7,500 he paid for the previous bail back, depending on what the judge decides.

Marek is due back in court on September 12.

Magnotta was charged with first-degree murder in the brutal slaying. His trial is scheduled to begin in Montreal in September 2014.
